TokyoDreamer9? Why choose that name?

I chose the name TokyoDreamer9 for many reasons. I remember signing up for some things on the internet that required a username and I thought what would be appropriate. I love Tokyo and I love Japan. My whole life and hobbies revolve around Japan whether its the culture, language, anime, manga, videogames, cosplay etc. My dream is to move there someday. And thats when I realized, I constantly dream about Tokyo making me technically a Tokyo Dreamer. And finally the number, I could have said number 1, but I don't like to call myself number 1. I feel insecure with trying to be the best. Then number 7 hit me because its usually a lucky number but the ring of seven with the rest of the name TokyoDreamer9 didn't click for me. And then the number 9. I don't know why but TokyoDreamer9 sounds right for me. The Nine clicks and that's all there is to it. I still dream about Tokyo like there's no tomorrow. I dream about visiting Tokyo Tower so badly, the trains, the stores, the people. I dream about the photo kiosks, the malls, the shrines. And the number 9 still feels special to me. As well as being the month I was born in, it resonates well with me. And finally that's why I'm called as such. There's a reason to everything, this wasn't some cliché, dolled up name, this is what I am everyday.
Yours Truly
